Plumber recommendation

I was talking to an HVAC guy last week about water heater replacements. He said that $5-$6 was "normal" for a water heater replacement.

At that rate, it would be cheaper to hire a lawyer at their hourly rate to do it.

Once you have the hot water heater in place, it should only take 30 minutes or less to get it all connected.

If you can find a lawyer that will wrench/sweat pipes for $475 an hour then you will save a boatload of $$ over Applewood and the likes of them.

The company I work for charges 6hr of labor at $65 an hour, plus water heater and parts for a water heater install. That is for a basic 40 of 50gal unit. If the customer wants some fancy shit the cost goes up.

More than reasonable rate. In fact, damn good deal.

If you're unarmed, you are a victim.

Applewood advertises on TV and in the Denver Post. Must be legit. Two weeks ago they quoted my co-worker $9,600 to replace a 40 gallon water heater.

Good luck with your project.

Applewood is the most expensive place I've come across. The gave a customer a quote of 400 to pull and reset a toilet.
